I had to look it up: RUD is "Rapidly Unscheduled Disassembly"

[dopamean]

Rapidly or rapid? Is in the unscheduled part that is rapid or the disassembly?

[nraynaud]

that would be a rapidly scheduled disassembly. "yeah, we totally planned that in half a second".

This might be my favorite acronym of all time.

Was it caused by a lithobraking maneuver?

[mikeash]

I believe in this case it was a skafobraking maneuver. Not many lithos out in the Atlantic to brake with.
